The purpose of this study is to test whether credit rating agencies highly evaluate the credit ratings of corporate bonds based upon management participation and ownership share by family governance in ownership structure forms. The samples of this study for empirical analysis were 1,449 non-financial companies listed on Korean Exchange from 2011 to 2016, over whose firm/year data this study conducted regression analysis. The results of empirical analysis in this study are as follows. First, family businesses had positive effects on the evaluation of corporate credit ratings. Second, if the ownership share of family businesses was higher, corporate credit ratings were higher. This result means that high ownership share in family businesses has very positive effects on the credit ratings of related businesses. It is meaningful that this study tested the effect that family businesses can alleviate agency problems and reduce information asymmetry. Furthermore, it is also academically meaningful that this study can contribute to future studies on the role of ownership structure.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) refers to factors that are important for assessing a firm's social and environmental effect, as well as its governance standards. This paper investigates the relationship between ESG-based corporate governance and SDGs strategy implementation by discussing about incorporating ESG issues into corporate operations. It digs into the advantages and disadvantages of aligning corporate governance with the SDGs, demonstrating the potential for delivering long-term value for both firms and society as a whole. In this paper, we investigate ESG-Based Knowledge Management (ESG-KM), a knowledge management system that incorporates sustainability principles. More specifically, the paper investigates how the synergy between ESG-KM and ESG-Based Corporate Governance (ESG-CG) might influence firms' long-term value creation, stakeholder involvement, and sustainable decision-making. Finally, this paper investigates how public organizations might use knowledge management to improve the implementation and effect of ESG-CG principles, resulting in better sustainable outcomes. Public enterprises may support responsible decision-making, increase stakeholder involvement, and achieve long-term performance by linking ESG principles with corporate governance standards. The paper then explores how ESG-KM might help public firms integrate these concepts into their governance structures. The scientific novelty of this paper resides in its thorough investigation, realistic implementation methodologies, and novel combination of ESG principles, corporate governance, and knowledge management. Furthermore, by providing actionable insights and emphasizing the application of these concepts in the context of public enterprises, the paper makes a valuable contribution to the field of management, propelling the discourse on responsible and sustainable business practices in both the private and public sectors.

In order to maintain high level of control over and close coordination of foreign marketing activities, export manufacturers often consider vertical integration strategy into global distribution. However, full integration is not always a feasible option. The purpose of this study is to investigate the alternative ways to achieve optimal level of control over export channel system for desirable channel performance. This study investigates different options for integration of the vertical channel structure, and examines their effect on the performance. The findings of this study suggest different combination of ownership and coordination level has varying impact upon channel performance: efficiency, effectiveness, and adaptiveness. This implies exporters may achieve desirable performance control over export channel without fully integrating the channel via ownership.

시장지배력(市場支配力) 개념은 독점금지사건(獨店禁止事件)을 경제적(經濟的)으로 분석(分析)하여 위법성(違法性)을 판단하는 과정에서 핵심적인 역할을 한다. 시장지배력(市場支配力)은 어떤 시장구조(市場構造)가 경쟁제한(競爭制限)으로 인해 소비자(消費者)의 후생(厚生)을 침해할 수 있는 잠재력(潛在力)을 갖는지에 대해서 명확하게 답변해 준다. 시장지배력(市場支配力) 중심의 경쟁정책체계(競爭政策體系)는 시장지배력(市場支配力)을 보유하는 기업의 경쟁제한행위(競爭制限行爲)는 상대적으로 큰 후생감소효과(厚生減少效果)를 초래한다는 관점에서, 그들의 경쟁제한행위(競爭制限行爲)를 집중적으로 규제한다. 이 체계는 소비자후생(消費者厚生)과 효율(效率)을 높일 뿐만 아니라 중소생산자(中小生産者)를 보호(保護)하고 지배력분산(支配力分散)을 도모할 수 있다. 또한 이 체계에서는 규제범위(規制範圍)가 간명(簡明)해지기 때문에, 정책당국(政策當局)이 그것을 쉽게 관리(管理)할 수 있다. 이러한 관리가능성(管理可能性)의 향상은 행정력(行政力)의 낭비를 막음으로써 기업활동(企業活動)의 자유(自由)를 확대(擴大)하는 데에도 도움이 될 것이다.

Given that SME workers are the driving force of national competitiveness and the basis and cornerstone of the industry, it is meaningful to study workers' job satisfaction and the factors that affect job satisfaction. In addition to variables related to corporate competitiveness and organizational justice, this study introduced variables such as environmental(E) activities, social(S) activities, and governance(G) activities, which th national government uses as major management evaluation indicators. Therefore, a literature study and empirical analysis were conducted on how self-efficacy affects job satisfaction when workers are faced with a changed work environment. To conduct this study, 300 copies of data were collected from workers in small and medium-sized enterprises and used for analysis. For data analysis, the SPSS statistical program (Ver. 25.0) was used. The study finds, first, that product or service quality and employee competency among corporate competitiveness had a significant positive(+) effect on job satisfaction. Secondly, among ESG management activities, social(S) activities and governance(G) activities were found to have a significant positive(+) effect on job satisfaction. Third, among organizational justice, distribution justice and procedural justice were found to have a positive(+) effect on job satisfaction. Fourth, self-efficacy was found to mediate the effect of product or service quality, employee competency, social(S) and governance(G) activities among ESG management activities, and procedural justice among organizational justice on job satisfaction. The academic value of this study is that it empirically analyzed the factors that ESG management activities affect workers' jobs,. As a result, it was confirmed that workers were satisfied with their jobs by actively showing interest in social(S) activities and governance(G) activities among ESG management activities and participating in corporate management. In addition, workers sensitive to changes in the external environment can become satisfied with their jobs through self-efficacy when SMEs actively enhance corporate competitiveness, execute ESG management activities, and provide a fair organizational culture. Finally, this study suggests that there's a possibility of improving the competitiveness of SMEs through a virtuous cycle created by a change in perception of job conversion and a decrease in turnover.

재정경제부, 공정거래위원회 등 주요 경제부처는 지난 8월 25일(수) 정$\cdot$재계 간담회를 개최하고 동 간담회에서의 합의내용을 실천하기 위한 재벌개혁 세부방안을 확정 발표했다. 동 재벌개혁 후속방안은 동 간담회에서 정부와 재계가 합의한 투명한 기업경영지배구조 정착과 순환출자 및 부당내부거래의 억제, 변칙적인 부의 세습 차단 및 제2금융권 지배방지 등 정부의 재벌개혁 3원칙을 구체화하는 데 초점을 맞추고 있다. 정부는 무엇보다 재벌기업의 자기자본대비 출자총액한도를 매우 엄격하게 규정, 동 제도를 부활함으로써 순환출자를 줄이도록 유도하기로 했다.

1997년 말 우리나라의 경제위기는 외화보유고의 부족에서 비롯된 것이나 근본적으로는 1996년부터 시작된 한보, 삼미, 기아그룹 등 우리나라 재벌기업의 연쇄도산으로 대변되는 기업의 실패에서 기인하였다. 지난 30년 간 빠른 성장을 지속해 온 우리나라 기업이 90년대 후반부에 총체적 부실의 위기에 직면하게 된 것은 기업외적인 요인보다도 과다차입과 과잉투자, 전근대적인 지배구조 등의 기업 내부적 요인에서 주로 기인한 것으로 지적되고 있다. 그러나 일반적으로 기업실패의 원인으로 지적되는 과다차입과 과잉투자는 문제에 대한 정밀한 진단 없이 국민정서에 부응하여 인구에 회자되는 면이 없지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 지난 40여년간 높은 부채비율을 유지하면서도 고도성장을 지속해 온 우리나라 기업이 왜 90년대 말에 와서 그것으로 인하여 도산하게 되었는지에 대한 심층적인 분석을 도모하고자 하였다. 분석 결과 우리나라 기업의 연쇄도산은 80년대 말 이래 급격하게 변화된 영업환경으로 인하여 기업의 영업위험이 커진 것이 직접적인 원인으로 작용하였으며 높은 부채비율은 총위험을 줄이지 못했다는 점에서 기업도산의 간접적인 배경을 형성한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 우리나라 기업이 지난 30여년간 투자수익이 자본비용에 못미치는 것으로 드러나 과잉투자를 해 온 것은 사실이나 과잉투자의 배경은 일반 물가상승률을 크게 상회하는 높은 지가상승에 있었으며 또한 80년대까지 정부의 성장에 대한 인센티브와도 직결되어 있었다.
